Brian Erwin

Advisor (Life and Property and Casualty)

When making decisions about money and protecting the things important to you and your life, it’s good to consider a few different things.
Some may consider the cost irrelevant as long as the service is good, where others just want the lowest price. A good broker will take the time to explain the benefits of the services available and work for you to make sure you’re getting the service you want at a price you can manage. Take the time to speak with more than one broker; then you can make an educated decision about your needs.
With over 17 years in insurance and a total of over 30 years in business management, Brian Erwin can not only help you understand what’s available, he knows many of the challenges you may face and looks forward to helping you pave your road to success.
